Was no problems at all, no pain, just discomfort. Lasted about 40 minutes and the worst bit was getting the local! Well, I had it done the traditional way 7 hours ago.

My traditional, two-incision version went exactly as they said it would, with no complications, while a co-worker had the single-incision method and was bruised up over his beltline and unable to walk for 5 days. Just remember that before you are sterile, you've got to "clean the pipes" at least five times. Nothing like medically necessary sex!

I got a shot of local anesthetic, laid back, and it took about 20 minutes. It felt like the doctor was tying up laces where I didn't have any shoes, if that sounds right. I had the most unfortunately-placed bruise ever for a few days. Unopened bags of frozen peas work very well to keep swelling down. Let me emphasize that: the procedure is not the bad part; giving yourself swelling and inflammation THERE is. I seem to have had it way easy compared to all the other people posting.

I was given the choice of general anesthesia or "twilight" which makes you half loopy. I opted for general anesthesia since I hate that groggy feeling drugs give me. Probably not a good idea in retrospect. Every time the doc touched my sack, i practically jumped off the table. They almost cancelled the procedure. It took 3 nurses to calm me down a enough to continue. It wasn't the pain (more discomfort than pain) but the feeling of being touched there really messed with me. Doc told us to wait a week before sex. On day 5 i jerked it twice. I wanted to make sure everything was still working properly before "testing it out" on my wife. Needless to say, seems to be OK. I go back next month to have a sperm sample taken to make sure everything worked. I had it done in January after my wife and I had our “whoops” child.

Ended up needing a full week off as things became infected.. It's now a week and a half later, and he's still walking funny. Hopefully by the time I'm talked into this procedure I've forgotten all about his horror story. A co-worker of mine just had it that done..

It was most disconcerting to see "my boys" farther away from my body than they had ever been. I had no idea my sack could stretch that far. After removing what looked like macaroni noodles I was pronounced, "sterile". Now only baby powder comes out when I orgasm but it's ok. Just kidding about that last part.

Once with his first wife, after a divorce and a remarriage he had it reversed so as to father my sister and I. He then had it redone so as to prevent any more kids like my sister and I.

The doctor couldn't find the place to snip for a solid 60 minutes; the whole procedure took 80 minutes. Another co-worker of mine had to have it done twice because the first one "didn't take" (how the fuck that's even possible if beyond me). The way a buddy of mine tells it, it is imperative that you shave before showing up. The nurse that made sure he was "clean" down there showed my friend the rusty, single-blade Bic that would be scraping any missed patches of fuzz that had escaped the careful home done job, and from the description of it alone my balls took refuge somewhere just below my heart. With those comments said, good luck to you. I'm sure at some point I'll be tucking in the string and getting this procedure done, too, and I send only good thoughts to anybody going through it.
